Work Life Ballance is Living in Your Office

Office as home: the third-from-last moment in advanced-capitalist mereology; the inverted spatial fetish of the creative underclass, in which work is play, play is life. We all sleep in an office, tapping blindly into the .xls file of our own barely elaborated intentions, with weak and unconvincing truces drawn between evolved subsystem and perso-narrative boilerplate logged by the billable quarter-hour. But I'm actually living in an office. At least for the weekend. And despite it's awkward distance from bars or takeout it's a fucking pleasure.

Anyway while the situation I've found myself in is almost the exact opposite of what the recession is, it still tells me that the recession is great, and that it's deepening will only serve to make my relatively few waking daylight hours more intoxicatingly vivid. Wake me up when the only things you can buy are bindles and coffins.

Monsieur Clyne, A Tale of Undersea Woe: An Introduction

The history of western medicine is riddled with eccentric old gents who blew their research grants prodding wealthy young women on the boobs with magnets. Dr. Clyne was not one of those characters. For him the inky depths of the Atlantic ocean was, like, four hot gullible heiresses. All quivering with unexplained nervous disorders. And the majestic squid was like 8. All with attention starved, novelty hungry, mothers.

These will be his stories....

Tami-Flu

P-Wolf here. Yeah, so I just got back from house/dog sitting, all ready to blog and what have you, and then...wham! Flu hits, in a big way. Sure there was sneezes, coughs, fevers, aches, but what got to me most was the delirium. From what I can piece together, I had a recurring dream in which I was responsible for the financing of what I think was a play. Some unnamed fat guy gave me me occasional advice, but mostly I was alone,confused and lost in New York City, unsure how to go ahead with this project I knew very little about. thinking about it is bringing up some shit for me, I'm gonna have to stop. Thanks for listening. If this post brought up any flu issues for you please don't hesitate to call me.
